Quick background story
- Accepted into med school out of high school special program (1 out of 20 in the country at the time)
- Received honors bachelors of biology degree in 2008 (GPA = 3.93 - 3.97)
- Start med school in 2008 and stretch the first two years into four (due to family member - father - illness)
- Completed every M1/M2 (first two year) classes except Pathology, wasnt allowed to continue so i withdrew
- Spent the next 5 years working at my uncle's dentistry clinic managing the clinic with his help
- Only other work experience is that I was a tech at a pharmacy for 5-7 years
Should I even sit for the GMAT and apply to business school or are my shots at getting into a top 10-15 school completely shot to begin with??
Finally, i am turning 32 this May
Was thinking of focusing on my high level of academics before Med School and saying I withdrew due to helping my uncle / dad run their clinics and decided medicine wasnt for me
Besides that I dont know how to explain the gap
If I take the GMAT I plan on using the following resources:
- Manhattan books
- Manhattan foudnation books
- Magoosh videos
- OG questions (3 books)
- Exam packs 1,2,3 package
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as time is of the essence

Hi FreshStart!
For you, I highly recommend pursuing an MBA. Your CV will not hinder your acceptance. On this forum there are many people who are the same age as you or older with similar stories. Your additional experience makes you a valuable student. Your GPA of 3.9 will help you a lot, in many schools its a big part of the score!
Why don't you try one of the many free practice tests and see if a good GMAT is something you want to pursue?

Thanks for the encouragement and advice
The tests are available on MBA official website, does it simulate actual exam conditions or do you have to grade it yourself?
About how much time do i need to allocate for the practice test? 4 hours?
